only if u dont specify anythign or u'll find noone hehe or be lucky requirements fot the one person they apply to

as for the login page, they probably just made the status thing a fixed tekst message to pretend they are doing something, especially cuz the "server full" mesaage was still given even after that changed (while the server worked, that is)

...ignore the shard status entry - I had a look at the source code; it's just text...

While the Unity shard status may simply be written into the page source (evidence supports this), this is most likely the case in US shards as well if one goes and looks at the html source. This is because the page is no doubt generated by a server-side script - PHP, Perl, Java servlets, or ASP for example - and they send none of their own code out to the user agent (in this case a web browser).

This achieves: firstly, the user agent is not burdened with unnecessary transfers or useless data; secondly, companies that develop such server-side applications can perform some neat wizardry there without having to fear some lamer copypasting their hard work to their own projects. (Further, one could argue in court that server-side applications fall under copyright protection as 'source code of sufficient originality')

That's exactly what I believed was the case, until I heard that Unity was "Very Healthy" and had a "Low" population.... ....during maintenance.

Well they could at least have bothered to use the right font size and the right descriptions ("Moderate, Light, Very Light") to make a better fake.

But you know first quality is not their strong point... [H]
